I'm a fan of Marcia Muller's Sharon McCone series, and this one didn't disappoint. The series is fun, intriguing, and it takes you to new places and is full of new surprises while still building on the foundation built early on.

No need to read the series in order; the backstory fills in quite nicely.

News of her father's death sends San Francisco P>I>
Sharon McCone rushing to her family home. While going through has personal effects, McCone comes upon a shocking document, one that raises questions about her birth. The stunned, strong-willed investigator embarks on a search for the answers, yet from Montana's Flathead Reservation to a remote county in northern California, all she finds is an impregnable wall of lies and evasion.

You think one way about your life and in a moment everything changes. Everything you believed about yourself is untrue. How shocking and disturbing. Read how this detective unravels the mystery of her life and find her true heritage.

This is an excellent story, a little different from the normal Sharon McCone mystery. In this one, she discovers she is adopted (I'm not giving anything away, it's on the back cover!) and the story is her adventures in trying to trace her birth family--since no one in her family will tell her anything. It's interesting, heart-warming, dangerous, exciting, and very rewarding to read.
